More Snow

We got another inch or two of Lake effect snow last night. Its brutally cold and the wind just won't stop making it feel 15 degrees colder. Wasteland type cold is going down tonight. My dog won't go out. BAAWAAA!

Some things need to change but this is what it is for now.

Vintage (relatively)

You know where. But do you know what.

One week.

By next Monday a little thing called the Super Bowl is going to decide who is the best football team in the nation is. While I was downtown for the dvd release party I snapped a couple of photos of a deary downtown. The Emerald Isle is at Wabash and Wacker. Accross the river is the Wrigley Building. No not the field of losers. The Building. Buckingham Fountain a.k.a. The Married With Children Fountain has been turned off. Soldier Field is lifeless this Sunday. The Bears are playing next Sunday and the hype on every media outlet is already getting Super old.

Unneeded Rings do this.

or two words-Duck Tape
First ride off road and the answer winter boots get shredded.

Rick, Steve, Beth, George and Coco the Lab were out today. 2 hours Canal to Dynamite-3 Ravines to Ho Chi Mihn-Out and Back to Burrito and back to the Canal. Not so bad for how cold it was.

Two Days Three Rides

Yesterday- Palos- The Canal 45 degrees and melting. Last night the 11 mile loop was slushy when we left and icy on the way back. Today Palos was super icy due to all the melt yesterday and its super slick. But the Heckler and the Kenda Klondike studded tires were hooking up thru all the turns.
Three Ravines, One Day, Gravity and Out and Back. Sweet for the end of January.
Tomorrow the Canal Trail Early. Then the dvd party for the Toys For Tots ride where we delivered 750 toys by Bike from Niles to downtown Chicago.
